Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Trey Taylor at the 251st overall pick is 46 spots clear of where he belonged.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They jumped the gun on Trey Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cole Bishop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jarrian Jones in No. 168, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They liked Tanor Bortolini enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 29. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Austin Reed
The board had cheaper options than Austin Reed at the 216th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They did well to land Trevin Wallace in pick 243, just ahead of his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They talked themselves into Trey Taylor at the 251st pick, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
